Reviews of Congressional Cemetery
"It’s a beautiful place to walk your dog off-leash. There is a lot of great history spread throughout. Also, Quentin is a real gem. I like this place almost as much as my dog does."
"STUNNING Kwanzan cherry blossoms, it was peak on 4/12/2023. - dogs are off leash if you have day pass(purchase online) or membership. - better to sign up for text/email alert when it’s closed. - street parking, easy on weekdays."
"Visiting this place regularly has restored my dog's vitality. A day pass costs $15 and there is a two-year waiting list to become an annual dues-paying member. However, I'm happy to pay the $15/day fee while I wait because it's the best (if not the only) large, leashes, dog-friendly park in DC."
"Posted 3/25/23- I was about a week late for the peak of the cherry blossoms but there were still a few trees in bloom. Also in another week or two, there’ll be more. The most popular spot to see the cherry blossoms in D.C. is the Tidal Basin along the Potomac River. However, during peak (even during the week), it is extremely busy and difficult to find parking. If you want a low key yet still beautiful place to admire the cherry blossoms, come to the Congressional Cemetery. The main entrance is on E street and there is free two hour parking right by the gate. The cemetery is dog friendly (also able to be off-leash!) which adds life to the place. This is the perfect quiet place to spend a warm D.C. afternoon. Plus, lots to do nearby!"
